Re: Earthquake Forecasting Data Update Nov. 6, 2009

The Data.html Web page has been updated with the latest Chart A earthquake forecasting data.

With the latest Time Window line on Chart A the strong longitude peak around 122 W has been reduced in size. And there is now a fairly strong peak around 130 W. Strong longitude peaks continue to appear in the 140 to 145 E area.

A strong EM Signal was detected at 2009/11/12 05:26:00 UTC. It is a moderately good match for both of the following earthquakes and might be indicating that another earthquake is headed for one of those areas.

2009/11/08 19:41:45 8.31S 118.69E 18 6.7 Indonesia
2009/11/05 11:34:21 23.62N 120.76E 22 5.4 Taiwan
NEIS Data

An effort is in progress to get the computer programs that generate these data optimized so that they can more easily produce charts that contain data for those individual EM Signals and earthquakes. Each of the Averaged EM Signal Time Window lines on Chart A can represent more than 150 EM Signals detected during a three month period of time. That averaging reduces the somewhat random looking longitude peak location fluctuations that are observed with individual EM Signals.

Efforts are also slowly getting underway to encourage the U.S. government to get more strongly involved with earthquake forecasting research. That is quite a project.
